Mar. 17, 2004: VERO BEACH, Fla. - The body of a local socialite once related to the Kennedy family was found in a sunken car.
Police do not suspect foul play in the death of 65-year-old Hope Sheridan, who was last seen March 8 in the gated community in which she lived.
[...]
Sheridan is the ex-mother-in-law of Michael Skakel, a cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Skakel, 42, is serving 20 years to life in prison for the beating death of his Greenwich, Conn., neighbor, Martha Moxley, in 1975.
[...]
Sheridan's body was found in the passenger compartment of the vehicle . . . no skid marks on the grassy area going into the water.
"It appears from the preliminary findings that this was an accidental death," said Indian River County sheriff's spokesman Joe Flescher said. Uh-huh.
Maybe she 'accidentally' decided to say something that would hurt a Skakel appeal . . .
